#fishtraps — Public Fediverse posts

Mom & I watched an episode of #DeadliestRoads last night. The episode was the Green Gold in #Vietnam episode. We both laughed when we saw the man loading & transporting a lot of weaved fishing traps, on his #bicycle. It reminded us of one of Mom's younger brothers, my 3rd Uncle, on matriarch side. He transported fishing traps that my Aunties made in the village & would pedal all day, mostly on rough rural paths, to get them to nearest town market to sell. He would be gone a week, staying in town until traps were sold, before bicycling back to the village.

I made a gif of screenshots of how the fish traps are packed on his bicycle & him on the bicycle during the journey.
